The Context-Ready Transformer

arXiv:2606. 27538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the context-ready transformer, a new recurrent neural network architecture built from a D-layer transformer block that pre-contextualizes each token before it enters the block.

Prototype Language Models

arXiv:2607. 00510v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Knowing which training examples drive outputs is fundamental to auditing, correcting, and understanding language models, yet for modern LLMs this remains expensive, approximate, and largely post-hoc.

Improving Parameter Utilization by Sharing Neural Experts Across Layers in Transformers

The paper introduces CS-MoE, a Transformer architecture that shares experts across layers to reduce inter‑layer parameter redundancy. By combining layer‑independent experts with a globally shared expert pool, CS‑MoE allows elastic control over token‑level parameter activation and computational cost. Experiments show that CS‑MoE achieves lower perplexity than equal‑scale dense Transformers while activating only 55% of parameters, and its performance scales with the number of activated experts, approaching MoE performance within a fixed FLOPs budget.

An expressivity analysis of hierarchical modelling in deep transformers via bounded-depth grammars

arXiv:2606. 17522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are widely believed to derive their expressive power from their ability to form \textbf{hierarchical representations}, capturing progressively more abstract and compositional features across layers.
